Joining Mountain View Masters
Thank you for your interest in our swim team, the Mountain View Masters. If you are interested in seeing what our team is like, just come to one of our practices. Show up a few minutes early, and introduce yourself to the coach on deck. The coach will get you started. The first time you come is free, so drop on in and try it out!
We are a swim team that is part of US Masters Swimming. Anyone 19 years of age and older can swim with us. We try to balance fitness and fun for the members in our program. For our members, we offer coached practices, open lap-swimming, swim clinics, and private swim lessons. We also have social events that are lots of fun!
Our coaching staff is experienced in teaching beginners, improving experts, training swimmers for meet and open water competitions, and motivating everyone. We focus on fitness and technique to help all swimmers improve.
We swim Monday /Wednesday / Friday mornings from 5:00-6:00am, 6:00-7:00am, and 7:00-8:00am. We swim from 5:30-6:45am and 6:45-8:00am on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We have Saturday and Sunday practices from 6:30-7:45am and 7:45-9:00am. During these hours, we coach the team practices at one end of the pool and have open lanes for individual lap swimming in the other end of the pool.
We swim at Eagle Park pool in Mountain View located on Church Street at Shoreline Blvd.
